Brief Answer:
Aspirin gargles

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I suggest an antihistamine like Claritin twice a day with warm water.
I suggest aspirin (dispersible) gargles if not allergic to aspirin thrice a day.
If you have cough you can take over the counter anticough syrup like Robutussin. You may run temperature if so then you should head to local clinic for prescription of antibiotic.

Hope this helps.
